BURN ME BEAUTIFUL

I woke up crying in a stranger's bed, With a thousand little voices dancing in my head. Got lipstick on my cigarette, And a heart full of things I ain't forgotten yet.

I've been a sinner, I've been a saint, I've been the picture of a beautiful mistake. I gave my love till my hands turned blue, And all I got was a goodbye dressed in perfume.

Oh, Lord, don't you save me now, I ain't ready to come down. I've got thunder in my veins, And a little bit of heaven in my pain!

So burn me beautiful, burn me alive! I wanna feel every tear I've cried. Give me the truth, don't give me lies, I'd rather bleed than live half alive!

Oh, love me reckless, love me wild, Like a broken woman with a little girl's smile. If this is living, let me lose control, I wanna feel it in my body, I wanna feel it in my soul!

There's a jukebox playing my favorite song, And a lonely old man who's been hurting too long. He says, "Girl, you better take it slow," But he don't know the places that my heart can go.

I've kissed the devil, I've danced with pain, I've stood in the sunshine and begged for rain. And every time the world shut me outside, I found another reason to stay alive.

Oh, Lord, don't you close that door, I've been down this road before. I've got a wild heart, a restless mind, And a love that refuses to die!

So burn me beautiful, burn me alive! I wanna feel every tear I've cried. Give me the truth, don't give me lies, I'd rather bleed than live half alive!

Oh, love me reckless, love me wild, Like a broken woman with a little girl's smile. If this is living, let me lose control, I wanna feel it in my body, I wanna feel it in my soul!

Maybe I was born to be lonely, Maybe I was born to be free. Maybe there's nobody waiting, Maybe there's nobody for me.

But if I get one more morning, One more sunrise to see, I'll throw my arms around this crazy world And scream: "YOU CAN'T TAKE THE LOVE OUT OF ME!"

BURN ME BEAUTIFUL! BURN ME ALIVE! I'M STILL HERE, BABY, AND I'M STILL GONNA FIGHT!

Love me reckless! Love me wild! I ain't your angel, I ain't your child!

I GOT A HEART THAT'S BEEN BROKEN IN TWO, BUT THERE'S STILL SO MUCH LOVE THAT I GOTTA GIVE TO YOU!

Ohhhhhh... Don't you bury me... Don't you tame me... Don't you change me...

I'm still breathing... I'm still dreaming...

And baby...

I'm still burning.

YEAHHHHHHHH!!!
